Season 5 of 'Black Mirror' debuted on Netflix three years ago in June 2019. The next season is the first to be released since creator Charlie Brooker and his creative collaborator Annabel Jones abandoned their production firm House of Tomorrow, which was financed by Endemol Shine Group in January 2020, and established themselves under the new production banner Broke and Bones. Soon after, Netflix made a large investment in the firm, valued at up to $100 million.
For a time, the show's future was uncertain because the rights to 'Black Mirror' remained with Endemol Shine, which was bought by Banijay Group in 2018. However, an agreement was finally reached that allowed Banijay to license the show to Netflix. 'Black Mirror' premiered on Channel 4 in the United Kingdom for two seasons before migrating to Netflix and reaching a broader worldwide audience.
The show has received several accolades, including eight Primetime Emmys and a Peabody Award.
